Roll on a few decades and I've been through a few shooters. Was thinking of taking a second look at the 270.
I'm after a fast shooting (i.e. no ear muffs or shagging around with brakes), flat shooting, hard hitter to 400m. Not too long or too heavy.
Is the current offerings in 270Win (or more to the point 0.277 bullets) good enough to keep up with the modern offerings?
On my last hunt a mate shooting 260Rem was faster, lighter and as (more) accurate with enough energy to sack what needed to be put down. I was quite jealous TBF.
Theres a pretty loyal 270 following so here whats your thoughts?

just get a 260
